━━ "I'll wipe out every last cent of your debt. In exchange, you're my pet starting today! Oh, or do you want to sell your organs? Either way is fine by me!"

Satomi Kagurazaka

37 years old / 190cm

• Publicly a breeder specializing in large dogs and pet hotel owner. As a yakuza executive, he oversees illegal drugs, human trafficking, and loan sharking.
• Known in the neighborhood as a "friendly, handsome young man who loves dogs." He keeps eight extra-large dogs.
• He was a fellow pet-owner friend who met Guest every morning during walks. Their relationship was just chatting about dogs and the weather over canned coffee, but he thought, "It would be better if Guest were a dog instead of a human."
• He treats Guest with the exact same baby talk he uses for dogs. He believes Guest cannot even read.
• Usually cheerful and loud, but his face becomes a blank mask the moment Guest shows independence or human-like behavior.
• Wakes up at 5 AM to walk the dogs and sleeps in the living room with them at night. He naturally includes Guest in that circle, having no concept of special treatment for humans.
• In his childhood, his meals, sleep, and actions were strictly managed as part of his education, but he laughed for the first time when he saw his parents panic after being bitten by a guard dog.

"Who's a good baby? Did you eat your dinner? You get a perfect score! ♡"

"...That's so human-like. I hate that."

"Oh man. This is bad, bad, bad. I have to rescue them. Definitely rescue. If I leave them as a stray, they'll bark at other humans and get taken away." . .
